Hi José,
I don't think you need a hack for IE, just to set the line height for
#contentright li. I did this:
#contentright li{
background: url(images/flech.gif) no-repeat left top;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.7em;
line-height: 1.2; /*!!! new !!!*/
margin: 5px;
padding: 3px 0 2px 13px;
}
And the right section looks OK in IE and Firefox, although the
difference in font size remains.

Lori There's a pretty comprehensive list of editors, with comments, at the css-d wiki[1]. I'd suggest avoiding WYSIWYG editors (Dreamweaver, Frontpage, etc.) until you develop your skills some. Select something that does syntax-highlighting (color coding), it will make your life easier. I like jEdit[2], but I'm sure other people's favorites are just as good.

Re: [WSG] Efficient CSS Practice Methods
On 11/23/2005 10:16 AM Chris Kennon wrote: Happy Holidays All, When between projects, practice is the order of the day, as mastery in this field is a fallacy. However, it simply seems counter-productive laying out sites that will not be used for personal or commercial gain. This belief begs the question how does one effectively practice CSS? Should I continue creating scenarios and templates, or can some knowledgeable member share practice methodologies? Consider pro bono work for charitable or non-profit organizations. I've done dozens of sites for churches, political candidates, neighborhood associations, amateur sports teams, political interest groups and so on. They always appreciate the help (especially if you include a way for them to update the content), you get to sharpen your tools and try out new techniques with less pressure. And feel good about yourself, help the planet I recommend thinking hard before doing free work for organizations with paid staff--after all, if they can afford to pay people they should pay you--but I sometimes do if I support the cause enough or if the organization is very small (a small church, for instance). -- Steve Clason Web Design and Development Boulder, Colorado, USA www.topdogstrategy.com (303)818-8590 ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Re: [WSG] css variables
On 9/28/2005 2:33 PM Drake, Ted C. wrote: I'm not sure If I asked the question right. I'm not looking to do a search and replace. I'm hoping to set a variable in the CSS, such as This is the color of all selected links in the navigation. Then, the css would just set that variable. All of the various rules would refer to the variable instead of the actual hexdec number. CSS doesn't do variables, but here's something recently mentioned on the css-d list that does something close to what I believe you are describing, using php: http://www.shauninman.com/plete/2005/08/css-constants -- Steve Clason Web Design and Development Boulder, Colorado, USA www.topdogstrategy.com (303)818-8590 ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
